waters, Bouire as yet, but full of promise: new, ideals have arisen above the horizon, and bren at least partially adopted. Not only but the thoroughness of the transition is by tote with. After the passing of Forsters Educational Act in England, Board Schools did not rise more generally, nor more rapidly, than the new type of Hoktong has risen in al most every important country lown, not to speak of walked ciller, throughout the South of China. They have come into existence in hundreds and probably in thousands. The aim of the teachers in these Hoktong is, As wo know, to teach the scholars to "understand," and to my mind that in the foundation of all that is to follow. The old aim was to teach, the lad to remember the sounds, which were given to the characters, often incorrectly, and in the majority of cases further accomplished. Whatever therefore the little further was attempted, and nothing

banks contained, was as sealed to the scholar as the roll of the Revelation which was sealed with seven seals. immediately all this is changed and the aim of the teacher is utterly different.

I have recently visited some of these Hoktoogs, in the country districle of Kwang ung, and chatted with those who have charge of the new system of education. The text books employed are, compared with the old régime, as different in their aim as the heavens are from the earth, Not only are the characters explained, but meat of the textbooks are filled with illustrations, which, though somewhat crude, give the scholars some idea at least of the entity the character represents. I handled some text-books of natural bistory, and found that each character which described the animal was accompanied by an illustration which re presented to the eye of the scholar the animal

we The Hundred Feet" or birde described. was indeed a centipede, and a rhinoceros was a one horned animal standing on the river's back. Most of the text-books were illustrated illustrations were in the same way. Sono amusing. The text-books we found did not omit to inculcate moral teachings, and in the hot chapters teaching, what may be called, moral philosophy, was one that insisted on the

duty of filial piet. As is well-known it is the

}

duty of children an rising to the morning to repair to the room of their parents to inquire after the health of the latter. Apparently in in China it is resumed that the elders will have a morning nap, or at least will have offsprings who are up and daing before their eitlers,a ideal not generally realised in the West. In this case, however, according to the illustration, the parents were up and seated side by side, whilst the children,prodigies of filial piety- baw themselves on the floor before their elders. But the curious part of the scene comes out when we discover that both parents are uttired kla We terner; the father in a cutaway morning cost, and the mother in a faultless morning Rown which is decked with lace and other furgelows. Verily the jumble of ideas peculiar
